The finest plump pitted Bing cherries marinated in real Pinot Noir wine, then gently dried to a tart tenderness and double-dipped in a premium Guittard chocolate. Very rich. Tied for Gils Gourmet's title of "Most Popular Candy" alongside of their blueberries. Simply the best!

In 1989, these cherries were launched as Gils Gourmet's original product after they became all the rage with the patrons in the tasting room on Cannery Row in Monterey, CA. In 2009, with its more than 60 products and long standing history in the area- Gil's Gourmet is still a locally owned and operated family business with a focus on the finest quality at value prices.

Delicious! Bet you can't eat just one. But try to pace yourself as they do not come in large containers.

Very Tasty

Can't say the Pinot Noir is noticeable, but the tart cherries shine through the chocolate, which isn't too sweet. Not as many in the container as one might wish for the price and they certainly disappeared quickly.

Okay, not great

I love Pinot so I was eager to try these. They weren't at all what I imagined. The tiny dried cherries inside were tasty, but I could not detect any hint of wine at all. The cherry was like a tiny morsel hidden deep inside a thick chewy candy. The chocolate coating didn't even taste like chocolate to me, it reminded me more of that "yogurt" coating you see on some candies. That said, even though these don't taste like chocolate or Pinot Noir, the candies make an okay treat. But I doubt I'll try the other varieties.

Good quality chocolate with a nice taste twist.

Flavorful with a refreshing surprise. Lives up to its promise.
Have not used my other products yet.

Choc covered Cherries--Can't taste the wine

These are decent chocolate covered cherries, but if you think you are going to be wow'd by the wine taste, think again, if no one mentioned it (wine), you'd never know. But a tasty candy all in all.

Good description

The cherries are great. I would like to find some that aren't dipped in wine.
